I'd Rather - Luther Vandross

With every little sip I'm envious because Wish I was on your lips, ooh I'm jealous of the wind That's running through your hair And all over your skin Hey, my guess is that you want that I want And you know what I want Hey, it's time to wrap it up, send 'em home 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby Don't tease me Don't leave me here alone 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby Ooh baby Send everybody home 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby You've got me in the mood So you can't blame me now For tryna clear the room Uh-oh, my mind is gone 'Cause I can't take my eyes Off what you sitting on Hey, my guess is that you want that I want And you know what I want Hey, it's time to wrap it up, send 'em home 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby Don't tease me Don't leave me here alone 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby Ooh baby Send everybody home 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby Don't tease me Don't leave me here alone 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby Ooh baby Send everybody home 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby Don't tease me Don't leave me here alone 'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby

Funny running into you in this old bar tonight Everything in me wants to run up and start a fight 'Cause I got kicked to the curb and you got her The rest is history But, hey man, I ain't mad at you But I'm damn sure pissed at me 'Cause if I'd have just been her shoulder, instead of turning my back If I'd have swallowed my pride, instead of shooting that Jack If I'd had just paid attention, instead of paying no mind If I'd have gave her my heart, instead of hell all the time I'd be you Driving her car back to her place, guess you could say I'd be you Wreckin' her bed, stuck on her mind, she'd bе still mine I'd be you Yeah, hindsight surе don't come with no time machine And when the day is done I'm the smoking gun I bet you'd agree Well, if it wasn't for me there wouldn't be no you Ain't nothing ever been more clear Yeah, shake my hand, you're welcome, man You oughta buy me a beer 'Cause if I'd have just been her shoulder, instead of turning my back If I'd have swallowed my pride, instead of shooting that Jack If I'd had just paid attention, instead of paying no mind If I'd have gave her my heart, instead of hell all the time I'd be you Driving her car back to her place, guess you could say I'd be you Wreckin' her bed, stuck on her mind, she'd be still mine I'd be you (Yeah, I'd be you) I had my chance but I went and blew it Now she gone, moved on, like there's nothing to it So don't mess with her heart or she'll put you on the shelf You'll end up like me, thinking to yourself If I'd have just been her shoulder, instead of turning my back If I'd have swallowed my pride, instead of shooting that Jack If I'd had just paid attention, instead of paying no mind If I'd have gave her my heart, instead of hell all the time I'd be you Driving her car back to her place, guess you could say I'd be you Wreckin' her bed, stuck on her mind, she'd be still mine I'd be you (Yeah, I'd be you) (Yeah) I'd be you!

Just one more moment That's all that's needed Like wounded soldiers In need of healing Time to be honest This time I'm pleading Please don't dwell on it 'Cause I didn't mean it I can't believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground But it doesn't matter 'Cause I've made it up Forgive me now Everyday I spend away My soul's inside out Gotta be some way That I can make it up To you now, somehow By now you know that I'd come for you No one but you Yes, I'd come for you But only if you told me to And I'd fight for you I'd lie, it's true Give my life for you You know I'd always come for you I was blindfolded But now I'm seeing My mind was closing Now I'm believing I finally know just what it means To let some one in To see the side of me That no one does or ever will So if you're ever lost and Find yourself all alone I'd search forever Just to bring you home Here and now, this I vow By now you know that I'd come for you No one but you Yes, I'd come for you But only if you told me to And I'd fight for you I'd lie, it's true Give my life for you You know I'd always come for you You know I'd always come for you No matter what gets in my way As long as there's still life in me No matter what, remember You know I'll always come for you Yes, I'd come for you No one but you Yes, I'd come for you But only if you told me to And I'd fight for you I'd lie, it's true Give my life for you You know I'll always come for you No matter what gets in my way As long as there's still life in me No matter what, remember You know I'll always come for you I'd crawl across this world for you Do anything you want me to No matter what, remember You know I'll always come for you You know I'll always come for you

Stayin' too long at the honky tonk Spendin' too much just to tie one on Little less right and a lot more wrong Sounds like somethin' I'd do Callin' in sick when the fish are bitin' Takin' those curves with the gravel flyin' Keepin' one eye on the next horizon Sounds like somethin' I'd do I never had a reason, girl To go 'round lookin' for a fire to walk through It ain't like me to want somebody Rearrangin' all my want to's I ain't the kind to settle down Or let myself get wrapped around Somebody's finger, but if I had you Baby, sounds like somethin' I'd do Cleanin' my truck, get it pushin' eighty Pickin' you up and later, maybe Gettin' one kiss and goin' half-crazy Sounds like somethin' I'd do I never had a reason, girl To go 'round lookin' for a fire to walk through It ain't like me to want somebody Rearrangin' all my want to's I ain't the kind to settle down Or let myself get wrapped around Somebody's finger, but if I had you Baby, sounds like somethin' I'd do Yeah I ain't the kind to settle down Or let my heart get wrapped around Somebody's finger, but if I had you Baby, sounds like somethin' Baby, oh, it sounds like somethin' Baby, sounds like somethin' I'd do

We're giving it all away for nothing Such a foolish thing to do Always looking for that extra something When my everything is you There's a fear that burns a fire in my soul When I'm face to face with things I can't control This is my confession My deep and darkest secret I've been acting like my demons Doing things I thought I'd never do So I'm asking for redemption I'm asking for forgiveness All these things I've done to you Things I thought I would never do Things I thought I'd never do Is it too late to say 'I'm sorry'? Well, I'll say it anyway I wrote the ending to our story I played with love but lost the game And now it's easier to say what's on my mind Than to carry on with all these lies This is my confession My deep and darkest secret I've been acting like my demons Doing things I thought I'd never do So I'm asking for redemption I'm asking for forgiveness All these things I've done to you Things I thought I would never do Things I thought I'd never do Hiding the truth for way too long Maybe I'm crazy pouring my heart out in a song But I gotta scream it at the top of my lungs 'Baby I was wrong, so wrong!' This is my confession My deep and darkest secret I've been acting like my demons Doing things I thought I'd never do So I'm asking for redemption I'm asking for forgiveness All these things I've done to you Things I thought I would never do Things I thought I'd never do
